    Contributions of insula and superior temporal sulcus to interpersonal guilt and responsibility in social decisions

    Maria Gädeke, Tom Eric Willems ... Johannes Schultz
    Being responsible for a partner's adverse outcomes is associated with anterior insula activation, while the superior temporal sulcus tracks prediction errors for the partner's reward resulting from the participant's decisions.

    Alcohol attenuates CRF-induced excitatory effects from the extended amygdala to dorsostriatal cholinergic interneurons

    Amanda Essoh, Xueyi Xie ... Jun Wang
    Stress-related corticotropin-releasing factor signaling directly modulates striatal cholinergic circuits, and alcohol exposure disrupts this control, revealing a circuit mechanism linking stress, alcohol use, and impaired behavioral flexibility.

    Control of innate olfactory valence by segregated cortical amygdala circuits

    James R Howe, Chung Lung Chan ... Cory M Root
    Topographically distributed plCoA populations direct innate olfactory responses by signaling to divergent valence-specific targets, linking upstream olfactory identity to downstream valence behaviors, through a population code.

    Dynamic regulation of mRNA acetylation at synapses by spatial memory in mouse hippocampus

    Hai-Qian Zhou, Zhen Zhu ... Dong-Min Yin
    NAT10-mediated mRNA acetylation links neural activity to local protein synthesis at synapses, influencing memory consolidation.
